Publisher's Synopsis
The Idea of the Resurrection in the Ante-Nicene Period is a book written by Calvin Klopp Staudt in 1909. The book explores the concept of resurrection as it was understood and interpreted in the early Christian Church before the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE. Staudt examines the writings of various early Christian theologians and apologists, including Ignatius, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen, among others. He analyzes their views on the resurrection of Christ and its implications for the resurrection of believers, as well as their understanding of the nature of the resurrection body and the relationship between resurrection and immortality. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the doctrine of resurrection in the first few centuries of Christianity and sheds light on the diversity of opinions and beliefs that existed within the early Church. Overall, The Idea of the Resurrection in the Ante-Nicene Period is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian theology and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
